AlwaysMod opening
Finnish goods importer FinnStyle recently closed its longtime Minneapolis storefront and retired its name. This week, it relaunches at double the size as AlwaysMod. The new Golden Valley location will have a broader focus, expanding beyond Finnish goods to all things modern design. Fans of the store can still expect to find plenty of Marimekko and Finnish products, with the addition of 20 international modern-design brands. (905 Decatur Av. N., Golden Valley. 1-866-663-9998 or www.alwaysmod.com.) Jahna Peloquin
